One thing that we’ve been noticing with the sealed headphone market is that they’re becoming more focused on making a headphone that sounds good as a whole instead of focusing on specific sonic characteristics. This is not bad in my opinion and I think it’s more of just accepting that sealed headphones don’t sound like […]

Sony MDR-1R Headphone Preview
Depending on who you talk to, Sony is either a good or bad headphone company. Their most popular headphone is the V6 and the variations of it but aside from that, most of their offerings I would say are tuned for the typical music listener’s ears and not really for audiophiles (i.e. lots of ‘oomph’ […]
The Good-Sounding AKG K550 Headphone
I personally like full-size sealed headphones. They’re big, mostly comfortable, they seal around the ear easier and they isolate a whole lot of noise passively making listening much more enojoyable. I believe this is also the most common headphone as a lot of people seem to have preference for it. Sound-wise, it can be a […]
The Extravagant Bowers & Wilkins P7
Bowers and Wilkins, more commonly referred to as B&W has released a new flagship in P7 which replaces the popular P5 as their top of the line headphone.

The Budget Can: Panasonic RP-HTF600 Review
While most of the headphones that we’ve reviewed so far are sub $100-$200 cans, it doesn’t mean there are no good headphones under that price point. In fact there’s plenty of budget cans that deliver good performance which is always a good sign so that companies who sell expensive headphones are challenged to do better.
Superlux HD 668B Review – A Headphone for Trebleheads!
Everyone loves stuff that gives out good value for its price, and it’s safe to say that Superlux HD 668B is one of them. A true ‘budget cans’, I did not hesitate to pick up these headphones from someone as soon as it was offered to me. But how does Superlux HD 668B fair as […]
Playing Around More With Panasonic RP-HTF600
I bought the Panasonic RP HTF600 for a reason. Aside from it being cheap ($30), it was also highly recommended by headphone enthusiasts mostly in the head-fi forums. Reviews on Amazon were quite positive too (but we all know everyone who buys stuff from Amazon reviews product positively). Right now, I am primarily using the […]
